“Adoption is a special kind of love that is shared not by people who are related by blood, but people who are related by love.”
All around the world tonight there are children who do not have a place to call home. Children that for one reason or another do not have a mother or a father who can care for them. Some of these children do not have family members who are suitable to raise them. It is a sad reality. Right now as I am typing pictures are being added to the list of children waiting for their forever family. Sometimes the wait is not long and other times the wait can drag on for years. Some children become of age and never have the opportunity to sit across a dinner table from people they can call family. There will always be that hole in their hearts. A hole that only a family can fill.
I don’t know all there is to know about adoption but I do know that you can give a child a foundation to build on when making the choice to open your hearts. The passion that I show my children will come through as a mama bear fighting for her baby cubs. I will protect my cubs. When times get tough I will always seek the help that they need, I will show them love and I will offer a listening ear when they need to talk. I will answer any and all of their questions to the best of my ability. I will never make them feel that their past is a big black secret that no one can talk about. I will encourage them to talk about their bio parents if that is needed for healing. My children know that if the need to search for the people who created them weighs heavy on their hearts, I will help them. My prayer is that each one of my children will include me in that process. They know that I thank God for them and that my life has been forever changed because of them. I have learned so much about compassion, patience, understating and grace being their mother. I will forever have their backs and I will seek Gods wisdom when making decisions for them that may impact their lives. What I do know about adoption is that it changes you from the inside out.
As I tread through.
